ernized. It contains probably the most elab- crate and complete system of electric light ing in the world, there being no less than 500 lamps in the great marble hall and 2,000 in the entire building. Spring water is supplied to every part of the house by an electric pumping engine, doors are opened and closed by touching electric buttons, rooms are heat ed by electric radiators, and elevators and dumb walters run by electric power. The system extends to the barns of the great farm, where threshing machines, hay cutters, grain mills and all other mechanical devices are operated by electric energy.
 Prohibition is Rhode Island has worked just as it was expected to by those who have watched the work of prohibition in other States. In Providence the arrests for drunken ness during the first three months of prohi- bition were about 50 per cent. less than dur- ing the corresponding period under license. But now they are only about 25 per cent. less, and the daily average is fast rising to that of former years. In Pawtucket, also, the present proportion of drunkenness to all criminal cases is actually greater than it was under the license law; in Lincoln, measured by the arrests, the use of intoxicating liquor has increased tive-fo1d in t2 months; while in Newport, where, perhaps, prohibition comes nearer to being success than in any other populous part of the State, drunken ness has not only alarmingly increased of fate, but the proportion of offenses growing out of liquor drinking to the total number of all arrests is actually three per cent. greater than it was year ago under the license law. A similar condition is found throughout the State, except in those few towns where liquor selling was never common.

Object Lessons 1R Lying.

A mother overheard her nurse girl talking to the little child she was putting to sleep and among other legends of the nursery in which was indulged was this: eff you don't go right to sleep this very minute, great, big, awful, black bears with eyes like coals, of fire, and sharp, white, cruel teeth, will come out from under the bed and e-a-t- y-o-u-all-upl" The poor little thing nestled down under the clothes to dream of horrid bears eating her up.
 That night, when the stolid nurse had composed herself in her own comfortable bed and had put the lamp out, there came a sudden rap at the door and the voice of the mistress called loudly through the pan els: 'sMaggiel Maggie! get up as quick as vou can. There's burglar under your bedl" At the word, ''burglar" the girl sprang screaming from the bed, tore open the door and fell into mysteries in the hall. The lesson was more instructivr than the mistress designed, but when the girls fears had calmed she said to her: "You did noi hesitate to tell my little delicate child, who could not possibly know that it WAS lie a crue1 story of bear under her bed; now when I treat you to the same kind o story, you are nearly frightened to death Tomorrow you can go into the kitchen anc work there; you are not fit to care for Gttl' children"

 rather prepossessing young lady entered the office of well-known lawyer the other day and inquired:
 ''Is MT. Brief int"
 "Won't be in for two hours," replied the dapper young clerk whom she addressed, surveying her from head to foot with an approving glance. Anything can do for yous"
 '|Yes," was the reply, and the lady pro duced from beneath her wrap handsomely bound volume. "I have here ''I thought so" interrupted the clerk with deprecating gesture. ''I sized you up as soon you camein. But it's no use. We never fool away money on subscription books
 in this office. Didn't you see the sign outside, No Peddlers Allowed'?' "Sir," began the visitor, ''this book" "Oh." laughed the fippant young clerk, five no doubt it's the biggest thing out, but we don't want it. History of the United States, ain't it, from the Mound Builders up
 to the present day. Big thing, I've no doubt, but we've no use for it." "If you will allow me" Really" said the youth, who was greatly | amused, ''Td like to, but it's against the
 rules of the office to yield to the blandish- l ments of bookagents, no matter how young | and good looking they are. Couldn't think of looking at the book, my dear. Life of Napoleon,' ain't its That's a chestnut. One of our clerks bought one last month for $4, l and then killed the dog" s'I wish to say" GOT may be it's humorous work, with wood cuts that look as if they'd been engraved with 8 meat axe. No, we don't want it. We keep humorist here on salary to amuse us."

 ''Say, you are awfully persistent, my dear, but it won't do no good. If old Brief were here you might talk him around, because he's susceptible old duffer, and thinks every young woman who looks at him is in love with him. But am not that kind" ''Sir, if you will" "Say, hate to refuse you, 'pon my soul do, but I'm broke, and that's the truth. Come around in about six months, after the old man has taken me into partner ship I'll be flush then, and I'll take book,
 just to reward you for your stickativeness. I say, you're mighty pretty woman to T."
 Just then the attention of the loquaoious youth was attracted by the srantic gesticula- tions of fellow clerk in another part of the | room, and he paused. "You are Mr. Freshleigh, Ipresume?" said | the lady. "I-er-yes, that is my name," was the 1 reply.
 fI have heard my husband speak of you. I I am Mrs Brief. Will you please hand this I book to MT. Brief when he comes in, and ask him to take it to the binder'sa Good morn ing." The lady left the office; the mercury in the thermometer crept down out of sight; the of-
 fee cat had fit, and young Freshleigh fell in faint.
 The next morning Lawyer Brief advertised for new clerk.

 There is 8 great deal to this Fourth of July question. It must be understood and explained and appreciated by every youngs- ter in every public school. Every small boy who has but one cracker must know exactly what his little noise means, and that in it's way it means just as much as the biggest noise the day brings forth. So let my July talk end with best love to the small boy, and next summer on the Green I will talk to him if you say so. Tne Fourth of July should be saint and have a shrine at every cross road. We have the higher duty, however, of loyalty to principles indepen- dently of deference to saints and royal per sonages. Some higher term than loyalty is needed. Let republican Photographers de- wise it.. Let no talk of places, folks or jour neys mix in with this sermon.

BREAKING UP.

Mir. Powderly, the would be ''boss" of the noble order of Knights of Labor, knows how to use the English language rather impres sively and adroitly. In the course of his last public utterance he said We are breaking sowing of new seed; we are breaking up old traditions; we are breaking up hereditary rights, and planting everywhere the seed of universal right; we are breaking up the idea that money makes the man, and not moral worth; we are breaking up the idea that might makes right; we are breaking up the idea that legislation is alone for the rich; we are breaking up the idea that the Congress of the United States must be run by million aires for the benefit of millionaires; we are breaking up the idea that few men may hold millions of acres of untitled land, while other men starve for want of one acre; we are breaking up the practice of putting the labor of criminals into competition with honest labor, and starving it to death.
 Thus Powderly, and very likely he believes what he says. The picture which he draws is an attractive one, and it would be splen- did thing for this country if be and his noble
 
 up here. But it cheeks the enthusiasm which his words are calculated to inspire when the condition of his noble order is con- sidered. Instead of being on the high road to power and the ability to continue the breaking-up process which, according to MT. Powderly, is so grandly going on, the indica- tions are that the noble order is itself break ing up. The circular which has just been issued by District assembly No. 126 shows how many of those who have not yet left the noble order feel. This circular says: We believe the order and the cause of labor have reached crisis in their history, and you must decide whether the order is to be what of the toilers or machine to register the will of despots and to be used against loyal men and women whom it promised to protect
 whether it is to be an order of, for and by the people or the cats paw of interruptions men who are actuated by personal hatred, and who seek only self-advancement. We regret that stern necessity compels us to thus address you, but we would be false to our pledge if we neglected to warn you of the dangers surrounding the Knights of Labor, and they threaten us all if the despots at it's head are allowed to go on unchecked.
 It is evident that the noble order will have to be very differently used if it is going to do much more breaking up. But it is not prob able that it can now be saved. Too many of the honest and we'll meaning men and women who once believed in it have lost faith.

 General Bragg makes fair hit in his pub lication of the war records of some of the northern soldiers who are not yet reconstruct ed. Several "Generals" he finds were cor porals or privates in the service, and most of the bitter, blood-and- fire warriors of the day were members either of hundred day regi- ments or of regiments recruited late in the war when enormous bounties were paid and when there was hardly chance of ever see- ing an enemy and which, in fact, never dis charged a gun. We have some of these prominent soldiers in New Haven.
 The attorneys for Brooks, alias Maxwell, the St. Louis murderer who killed his friend, are going to do all they can for their client. They intend to carry the case to the United States Supreme court. The father of Brooks, who is a cultured gentleman and head master of school in England, is now on his way to St. Louis. This will be his second visit to his unfortunate son since his arrest. The testimony against Brooks is overwhelming and it is supposed by some that the attorneys for the defense simply wish to delay the exc cution till Brooks shall die in jail. At pres ent the hanging is fixed for August 26, and { strenuous effort will be made for stay o | execution.

July it was very difficult to buy liquor at any
of these places. and number of the dealers
went out of the business; but as time went
on the traffic began to revive, until now, it
is declared, intoxicating beverages can be
procured in any quantity and in any locality
without much trouble or secrecy. The num-
ber of places where liquor was formerly sold
and is now to be obtained is 2S9, to which
must be added enough so-called ''club rooms"
opened by former saloon keepers for the BEN
eft of their customers to make the total
number 404 under prohibition, or within 40
of the number under license. The arrests
for drunkenness and crimes like assaults,
which are largely attributable to intoxication,
fell off very largely during the first weeks
after the change-ouly $50 of the former and
assaults in July. 1886, against 404 and 90
respectively in July, 1885; but during the
last three or four months the difference has
steadily diminished until in Decem Der last
arrests for drunkenness reached 238 against
$50 in December, 1885, while there was an
increase in arrests for assaults from II in De-
cember, 1886, to % in December, 1886.
